They are applied at the border and typically based on the product\u2019s value or quantity. For example, a 10% tariff on $50,000 worth of imported furniture means the importer must pay an extra $5,000 in duties.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to sourcing and importing goods from another country, tariffs can increase costs and complicate supply chains. Here\u2019s how it usually shows up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\"><strong>Tariffs push prices higher.<\/strong> They add directly to the cost of imported goods, especially in sensitive sectors like textiles and furniture.

The more accurately you calculate it, the better you\u2019ll understand the true cost of each item. This helps you set the right selling price and keep a healthy margin.<\/p>\n<p>The basic formula is the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Import cost = Product Cost + Freight and Transportation + Duties and Taxes + Insurance + Other Operating Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are the main steps in figuring it out:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li data-list=\"number\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_Your_Basic_Product_Cost_and_Make_Sure_Incoterms\"><\/span>Know Your Basic Product Cost and Make Sure Incoterms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is the first step in figuring out your land cost. The number can vary depending on how you negotiate your quantity discounts with your supplier, as well as currency exchange rates. As of September 10, 2025, the official exchange rate is around 1 USD = 26,387 VND, according to the State Bank of Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to ensure that your conditions are FOB, CIF, or occasionally EXW:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\"><strong>FOB: <\/strong>You pay for shipping and insurance.<\/li>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\"><strong>CIF: <\/strong>The exporter pays for shipping and insurance.<\/li>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\"><strong>EXW: <\/strong>You arrange everything from the factory of the supplier, usually with some additional higher extra charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li data-list=\"number\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_Transportation_and_Freight_Charges\"><\/span>Add Transportation and Freight Charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some of these are the whole transit of your goods from the Vietnamese factory to your US destination.

They range from about $50 to $200 per container, depending on distance and service level.<\/p>\n<p>Costs for international transport are higher. As of 2025, shipping a 20-foot container from Vietnam to the US West Coast averages $1,300-$1,880, while to the East Coast it\u2019s $1,800-$2,000. A 40-foot container runs about $2,000-$3,200 to the West Coast and $3,500-$3,800 to the East Coast.<br \/>\nDo not forget last-mile delivery from the US airport or port to your warehouse.

Let\u2019s say you buy Vietnamese products at an FOB price of $100,000, pay $6,000 for ocean freight and insurance, and face 20% import duties ($20,000), plus $2,000 in broker and handling fees. The total land cost will be:<\/p>\n<p><strong>$100,000 + $6,000 + $20,000 + $2,000 = $128,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tariff_Comparison_Vietnam_and_China\"><\/span>Tariff Comparison: Vietnam and China<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Current US-China trade tensions have prompted some US importers to look for alternative bases of sourcing. Vietnam quickly emerged as one of the most attractive choices. To make a well-informed decision, let\u2019s take a closer look at how US tariffs affect products from both countries.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese exports continue to be heavily affected by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ustr.gov\/issue-areas\/enforcement\/section-301-investigations\/tariff-actions\" data-lark-is-custom=\"true\">Section 301 tariffs<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong> and other trade measures. Tariffs on China rose sharply at the start of this year, in certain cases<strong> over 100 percent<\/strong>, before reducing to approximately 30 to 51 percent after trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnamese goods, on the other hand, face a much steadier and easier-to-predict tariff environment. The<strong> majority of product groups are grouped in the 20 percent band<\/strong>, and Vietnam does not have to deal with the extra surcharges that beset China.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Chinese furniture now carries extra costs with multiple duties: 25 percent Section 301, 20 percent fentanyl-related, and another 10 percent temporary tariff. These surcharges make Chinese imports more costly and less competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Vietnamese furniture, textile, and footwear industries remain cost-competitive. Most of these products face duties in the 15\u201320% range, far lower than the combined tariffs on Chinese goods. This gives Vietnam a clear advantage in pricing and predictability. For US importers, that means lower landed costs, easier budgeting, and better supply chain planning over the long term.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4518\" src=\"https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5.jpg\" alt=\"import tariff from vietnam to the us\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinasources.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/import-tariff-from-vietnam-to-the-us-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Watch_Out_For_When_Sourcing_from_Vietnam\"><\/span>Things to Watch Out For When Sourcing from Vietnam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A few small but worthwhile things can save you from falling into unexpected traps when it comes to tax compliance and customs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list=\"bullet\"><strong>Keep an eye on the new tariff rates. <\/strong>Goods made in Vietnam are at 20%, while goods transshipped through Vietnam face 40%.
